TCC Changelog

What's new in TCC 31.01.15

Nov 26, 2023
  • Many security, performance & size improvements.
  • The command dialogs Attributes dialog now supports the Integrity (ReFS only) and "No Scrub Data" (ReFS only) attributes.
  • TCC will clear the ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT flag from STDIN after running external apps. (There's at least one badly-behaved app out there that is setting it but not clearing it when it exits.)
  • TCC has a new pseudo-character device. TMP0: - TMP9: are similar to CLIP-: - CLIP9:, but are a little faster because they always work in UTF16 (so they don't translate to/from ANSI), and they don't need to access the Windows Clipboard (for CLIP0:). They also do not rotate like CLIPn: when something is pasted to the Windows Clipboard. Like CLIPn:, TMPn: values are local to the current session of TCC.
  • Prefixing a command name with a * will now ignore library function name matches (as well as the previous behavior of ignoring alias name matches).

New in TCC 30.00.7 (May 9, 2023)

  • Many security, performance & size improvements.
  • Added Python 3.12 support.
  • There is a new piping option - |&| means "only pipe STDERR".
  • TCC now supports - (hyphen) as a shorter version of CON:.

New in TCC 28.00.9 (Jul 13, 2021)

  • Many security, performance & size improvements.
  • TCC is now CET Shadow Stack compatible.
  • TCC tab completion supports the new optional library function name format (library$function).
  • The popup windows (i.e., F6, F7) now display the search string passed by the command line in the edit control.
  • TCC file expansion and tab completion now support "~" (home directory) syntax. If the filename is ~, or begins with a ~ (or ~/), TCC will substitute to the user's home directory, as defined by the HOME environment variable. (If HOME doesn't exist, TCC will look for %HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH.) For example:
  • dir ~
  • copy foo ~foofolder
  • TCC file expansion and tab completion now support the predefined Windows folders. The syntax is :foldername where foldername can be:
